New generatioNew generations of smartphones at Mobile World Congressns of smartphones gives us new vision of mobile computing thanks to full HD quality, dual-core processors, etc.

Many people are tired of the iPhone.  Many are not satisfied with app store regulations and lack of ability to run Flash visualization, though we must admit that Apple did the same that the Romans did long ago to Europe.

Lots of smartphone manufacturers try to enter this battlefield and to bring something new and absolutely unique. Here are some devices presented on at Mobile World Congress.

LG Optimus 3D
The 3D craze at last reached the little screen with the world’s first 3D smartphone. You do not need glasses to watch it on 4.3-inch LCD display. Two 5-megapixel cameras located in the rear let you capturing 3D video in 1080p, which can be played either on the phone, or on a 3D TV through HDMI.
Sceptics say that 3D is doubtful on television and it’s not serious on the smartphone. Besides, it is harder to use such device and it is not that fun to watch 3D on a small screen.

Motorola Atrix 4G

Motorola’s Atrix 4G can be plugged into the optional dock, after which it turns into a 13-inch notebook. This way you get a full-size screen and a keyboard, in addition to a battery for the phone charging as it remains in the dock.
The disadvantage of the device is the fact that the dick will cost you additional amount of money, 500 dollars in particular. The lack of Windows 7 deprives users of many things.

 

Kyocera Echo

As the Echo’s 3.5-inch touchscreen is cramped, you can slide it apart to obtain a second screen, giving you 4.7 inches of gleaming LCD. Dual screens let you browsing side-by-side sites. You can read messages on one screen, answer the message on the second one, or if you wish to play some game simultaneously this is not a problem as well. One screen is controller in this case like the Nintendo DS.
The disadvantage is the big consumption of battery life.
